Meet Daniel Mestaz

About Daniel Mestaz

Daniel Mestaz is an AV-rated commercial trial attorney who has been litigating for twenty-five years. He has represented tech companies, retailers, professionals, entrepreneurs, homeowners, and companies of all sizes. His custom technology—the Chron—has brought him great success against some of the biggest firms in town. He is a David vs. Goliath warrior who, with relentless preparation, stands up to bullies and focuses on victory from day one.

As a commercial litigator, Daniel’s cases typically involve a contract dispute or business tort, such as an LLC member, corporate shareholder, or partner who has been deprived of stock or compensation, an oral business contract that was performed but the other side trumpets the lack of a written agreement, or the defense of such claims. He also focuses on business divorce or business ownership disputes, trade secrets, non-compete/non-solicitation covenants, and unfair competition. He has tried dozens of cases to courts and juries. He has particular expertise in electronic discovery, so that whatever the evidence, he can use it to the client’s advantage in the most efficient and effective way possible.

As a trial lawyer, Daniel is nimble, aggressive, and always ready. He knows that the key to victory is mastering the facts and evidence so that no matter what happens, he can put the key piece of evidence on a screen within seconds. Smooth and seamless. No fumbling. No delays. You would be hard pressed to find someone as thorough and prepared as Daniel.

Daniel went from a top six law school to nine years at blue-chip law firms in Los Angeles. As a BigLaw commercial litigation partner, he represented fortune 100 corporations in massive cases with hundreds of thousands, sometimes millions, of documents.

He resigned that lucrative partnership because he wanted more jury trials, so he moved to Arizona to try serious felony cases for several years. Now, as a small business owner himself, Daniel uses his skills to represent Arizona entrepreneurs and businesses in must-win lawsuits.

The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation. We invite you to contact us, though doing so does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established. Our description of what we believe to be superior technology and how we win cases reflects our typical approach to litigation, which we believe:  (i) gives us a competitive advantage, and (ii) is responsible for any success we have had. But we do not win every case. Other lawyers may have technology or approaches that they believe gives them an advantage. Also, the results that we have obtained in other cases or that are described in our clients’ testimonials do not guarantee, promise, or predict the outcome of your case, which depends on the law, facts, and evidence specific to it.
